TRUE BLUE IN ALL THINGS.

“HAWAIIAN QUEEN 11

Dear Wendy. -May 1 join JOUi’ happy band ol Ites? Would you be very kind and give me Hawaiian Queen” for my pen-name.' Well, Wendy, 1 seem to know quite a num-. ber of the Ites and I will be able toj have a chat or two with them when 1[ hear from you. Love from I “HAWAIIAN QUEEN,” Kakatahi. | Welcome to the Wendy Hut, my | dear. I have given you ‘Hawaiian, Queen II" for your gen-name which i , hope you will like. Yes, it will be ; jollv to chat with your co-ites about j uur* Hut’s doings, wont it?—Wendy. “I WISH I COULD WAKE GIAN D FIND WAR A DREAM’’ SAYS “GOLDEN GLIMMER” Dear Wendy.—May I, after many! years absence, seek permission to rs enter your band once again? 1 have been out of the Wanganui district for over two years and wnen I came back into it again I began to take the “Chronicle.” What a shock I received on turning to the Hut page! What ever has happened Wendy? The Saturday page we were all so proud of has vanished and in its place just one or two letters appear in the Friday paper. Come on ites, you are not true blue when you allow this! The enjoyment you once gave the old folk who used to read the page with interest has been taken from them and for what reason? Some Ite may be able to answer that question. What has become of “Tottie,” “Our Little Boy” and others? I know ’Hinemoa,’ like myself, has married and I think she too has a child of her own, but still I think she could find time, once in a while, to visit the Hut especially as she lives in Wanganui. This dread- 1 fui war, Wendy; I do wish I could wake up some morning and find it was all just a bad dream for it has already called away such a number of my friends and relations. The weather seems to have taken up a bit now. 1 hope it lasts, although we shouldn't grumble, as the winter hasn’t really treated us badly, has it? I wonaer what has become of ‘‘Yellow Buttercup?” I haven’t seen or heard ot her since she left Utiku to go north. Well, Wendy, I will bring this nofp to a close and hope that with it will come along a few more letters from long-lost Ites. With all best wishes for your health and happiness and, that of the Ites allow me to remain l the Ite of long ago. ‘ GOLDEN > GLIMMER,” Upper Kawhatau. Ever so many thanks for your lovely letter dear Ite of long ago. To I have you pop in like this is a woniderful surprise and pleasure. Let me I explain the condensed condition of our once large Hut. WYen it was apparent war was at hand . conservation of became general so our space was reduced. 1 must pay a tribute to the loyalty of the clan in accepting the reduced fun and interest the larger space made available. However, let us hope that in the not distant future the war will be over and our page returned to us. Many thanks for your expression of health and happiness which I ask you to accept in full reciprocation. Warmest regards.—Wendy.
